Dental Filling Question - need advice ASAP!?
My 14 yr. old son got a filling earlier on one of his back teeth. He is now experiencing intermittent pain that he says, "feels like when you have a filling and bite down on aluminum foil" This is NOT when he bites down just waves of pain out of nowhere. He says he heard one of the assistants ask the Dentist "aren't you supposed to do so and so?" and he said, "don't worry about it" Makes me wonder. Does anyone know what this pain could be?
Answers:
It might just need to have the occlusion adjusted down some. Call the Dentist and let him know of the pain he is experiencing and they will get you in ASAP. They might just need to adjust the bite.
